    I totally get when people say both parties are bad and don’t vote at all or vote third parties. I live in a multi party system so the whole concept is foreign to me. But the meme isn’t pro Democrats but against Republicans. Sure, voting Dems won’t save the US, change always comes through pressure from below, from the street. But voting for Rep*blicans is just Evil at this point.

      Voting for either is evil.

      Just two different flavors of it. Hell, Biden was helping Israel genocide a whole ethnic group and systemically starve them. Not exactly feel-good stuff from the leader of the Democratic Party.

        Democrats largely are for the status quo and maybe adding a few more popular progressive ideas that don’t rock the boat or affect their benefactors. It seems like Israel is in a place that is too convenient to keep the current geopolitical status quo.

        Unfortunately, we also have a voting system on the federal level that promotes two parties and both are really just tools used against the proletariat to keep everyone just preoccupied enough to keep from mass rioting.
